Cocktail Tomato 'Dattelwein' - The Yellow Yield Rocket

Do you love sweet snacking tomatoes, but find classic red too boring in the long run? Do you dream of huge flower clusters and a seemingly endless harvest? Then the historical variety "Dattelwein" will be your new garden highlight! It's an absolute yield rocket and brings sun-yellow sweetness to your summer.

Scope of delivery: Each young plant in a 7cm pot.

Taste: Sweet like fruit! The bright yellow, tear-drop or date-shaped mini-tomatoes (approx. 10–20 grams) have a heavenly sweet, mildly fruity, and highly aromatic character. Due to their high sugar content and mild acidity, their taste is almost reminiscent of grapes. Perfect for snacking directly from the vine as you pass by.

Growth: The Dattelwein is a vigorous indeterminate tomato and wants to grow tall – it can easily reach 2 to 2.5 meters! Unlike small bush tomatoes, it absolutely needs good support (tomato stake or string). You should prune it regularly, but with enough space, you can easily grow it with two or three stems to get even more of the delicious fruit.

Special features: It is a so-called "Multiflora" variety. This means it forms gigantic flower clusters from which countless small tomatoes grow on a single truss. The yield is simply phenomenal – a true fruit waterfall! It is also very robust and tirelessly produces new golden-yellow date tomatoes until the first frost.

Good to know: Due to its lush growth, it feels most at home outdoors (preferably with light rain protection) or in a greenhouse. However, if you give it a sufficiently large pot (at least 20 to 30 liters) and a tall, sturdy trellis, it will also thrive happily on a sunny, sheltered balcony.

Hey, the Dattelwein is a real spectacle for your garden or pot! Give it a sunny spot, sturdy support, and some fertilizer. The sight of the huge, bright yellow fruit trusses will delight you all summer long – and definitely make your neighbors jealous!

What you can do with Dattelwein:

• The "Traffic Light Salad" for the eye: The eye eats first! Mix the yellow, tear-drop-shaped Dattelwein tomatoes with classic red or dark cherry tomatoes. Add a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and feta cheese – and you have a colorful salad that is an absolute eye-catcher on any buffet.

• The low-acid children's snack: Red tomatoes are too sour for some children. The Dattelwein, with its high sugar content and mild aroma, is extremely popular with the little ones. Just pack them in a lunchbox – they go down like sweet grapes!

• Sun-yellow Oven Confit: Harvested too many? Put a large baking dish full of whole Dattelwein tomatoes with plenty of olive oil, a few garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs in the oven. Let them slowly roast at 150°C until soft. This creates an incredibly intense, sweet tomato cream that tastes heavenly on toasted bread or with pasta.

• Gourmet Decoration for Cold Platters: Thanks to its elegant, slightly pear- or date-like shape and radiant yellow color, the Dattelwein looks very noble. Halve them and garnish cheese platters, carpaccio, or open-faced sandwiches for your next Sunday brunch.

• Sweet Tomato Chutney: If the plant goes completely wild in late summer and you have hundreds of fruits, cook them with onions, a little vinegar, chili, and spices to make a fruity-spicy chutney. The yellow tomatoes give the chutney a great, bright color and pair perfectly with cheese or grilled meat.

The Dattelwein is liquid sunshine in tomato form. Once you've stood before this huge, yellow wall of produce, you'll never want to do without this sweet treat again!
